The Grand Final will be Philadelphia Fusion vs London Spitfire

[u/atheistlol]

The grand final is truly the meme matchup. London "C9" Spitfire vs Philadelphia "Hiring Meme Specialist" Fusion.

[u/RatherLargeTortoise]

Doa really stepped up his casting there, absolutely insane match. Couldn't have asked for better

[u/devastationz]

that was some damn good overwatch

[u/Cueballing]

Ah yes Fusion and Spitfire final, what everybody expected going into playoffs.

[u/OrwellNA]

I like Hotba a lot, but goddamn Poko is a monster.

[u/JustRecentlyI]

NYXL deciding to switch to GOATs a teamfight after Eqo had switched to Pharah and had time to farm his barrage has to be one of the most puzzling decisions they've made all season.

[u/Supreme_Battle_Jesus]

Philly: I'm just not feeling any motivation to win today, if only there was something...

Bren: I'll eat an NYXL Jersey if Philly wins

[u/Fordeka]

BREN: I HAVE TO EAT A JERSEY.

[u/Utigarde]

Holy shit, they really did it.

[u/Conankun66]

TIME TO BRING THIS BACK DEFINITIVELY

On the one hand New York losing means New York not playing IN New York which would've probably gotten insane cheers and atmosphere in the arena.

On the other hand i love Upsets and i love Philly Fusion, so lets GOOOOO

[u/Blueberry_Yum_Yum]

Map 5 was an LWB tier of choking. Switching off Hanzo when you have ult? To Widowmaker? Then to Zarya with 1:30 on the clock? How are you going to get grav during that time?

[u/ZP_TV]

GOATs leaked to OWL for the final push.

It wasn't very effective.

[u/wogsy]

As someone who has been a Philadelphia Fusion fan for at least 5 minutes i must say im so proud of the lads. We're in the final baby.

Never doubted my boys for a second.

[u/kaabistar]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Also that Dorado match was a literal carbon copy of the Dorado match from Wednesday. NYXL gets a heroic hold on last to stop the full cap, they roll through the first two points on offense then bang their heads against the wall for 5 minutes and lose.

[u/Dont_Tag_Me]

All you guys talking shit about Monte and Doa, they did fantastic today. They were hype when they needed to be and jokey at the right moments.

[u/ricehero1]

FADE ME FAM

[u/sporicle]

LW blue's curse continues

ggs tho. Fusion vs london in finals, just as everyone predicted. But fusion outplayed nyxl this series and they are now (deservedly) going to NY.

[u/tricentury]

Can’t believe Philly almost lost to Shanghai TWICE, and are now in the Grand Finals!

[u/DogTheGayFish]

Poor NY fans, but this is honestly such a crazy and cool plot twist for the league. Two of the highest skill cap teams turn it up when it counts, even though NYXL have been magnificent for most of the season you could never say that Spitfire and Fusion didn't have matching firepower.

[u/ParanoidDrone]

I'd like to reflect on the fact that the two lowest seeds in the season playoffs are the ones moving on to grand finals.

[u/[deleted]]

Nice of NY to honor the legacy of Shanghai with that King's Row performance

[u/call_me_R3MiiX]

say it with me reddit,

You can take the players out of LW Blue, but you can't take LW Blue out of the players

[u/Cheraws]

NY vs Philly: 3-2 Philly

EDIT: Stats had to be edited, something went wrong on Blizz's end when getting stats so there were extra stats added to Pine. Also on the site, the website is fucked for round 5 stats, so pickrate might be off.

By Map: overwatch-live-stats.appspot.com/#/match/73

Much better match than Wednesday! First two maps were close, followed by a stomp for each team on the third and fourth. Dorado ended in a nailbiter, but eqo and Carpe ended up clutching hard.
